Dear Destinywlf:
Some other things to consider. Since you do a lot of surfing, you are probably picking up a lot of spyware, adware, and tracking cookies. If you don't run cleaner programs, they could be causing some of your problems. If you regularly clean out the spyware, adware, etc., don't read any farther. If you don't clean these things out, get a copy of ad-aware (6.0 is the current release) (www.lavasoftusa.com/), and run it. It will find SOME tracking cookies. Get a copy of Patrick Kolla's "Spybot search & destroy" (1.2 is the current release). (www.security.kolla.de) Both of these programs are free-ware. There are others, some free and some not, but the reviews on these two are favorable. You need to run both programs. If you never run these cleaner programs, you will be shocked at the number of tracking devices that are in your computer. Practice safe tinkering and always wear a grounding strap.

"Elector" wrote in message ... "destinywlf" wrote in message news:0athb.534125$cF.206326@rwcrnsc53... main reason I want to upgrade is anytime. I view videos or anything video intensive it will freeze at times. also software that checks your video ram usually wont install it sees 2 mb and usually most requires 16 mb. speed test I get at dslreports are usually about 3.2 mb upload about 380 kb. far as web surfing e-mail the system runs smoothly and running rhapsody runs great to problems. anything that requires video support cant handle it even in 98 when this system was purchase 2mb I feel was way under what they should've put on it. my friend would bring games over and they mouse would freeze. and the games would move ultra slow. I don't want a gaming system by any means. it would be a waste to even think I could make this system run games. I just want it to do internet stuff decently. would a video using a video card help thsi?? I do want to get a new system but even 500 to get a new system is more than the 70 im looking at for this card. when i do get a new sytem least then i could set this box up for a nice sytem for my coisins kids to fool around with or put it in my room for e-mail a nd some web browsing and mp3s or something. so will this upgrade accomplish what i want it to do better?? destinywlf: Symptoms you describe can be anything from not enough ram to not enough video ram or not a fast enough processor. And that is just touching the basics. You can also factor in such things as "do you have the latest drivers for your video'? "do you use the latest versions of the software to watch videos"? (Media Player 9, and or WinDvd, Or Power Dvd, or other such programs. I think Real has a player called Real One) Then there is also the possibility of conflicts with other programs or .dlls in the system. The possibilities are endless. 2MB however in the older machines were perfect since the technology of 10 years ago that was more than what you needed in your systems. Over the last 10 years the net has geared towards the newer, faster, better video and audio and its being gobbled up faster than corn by chickens. I also have the Rhapsody service under broad band but my system has audio and video that runs into the hundreds of dollars. My main system with its devices run well over $6,000.00 but in today's market what I paid big money for over the years is now probably worth $2500.00 quite a step down I would say. The video card is a basic upgrade. It is an easy upgrade and it can only improve the overall performance of your system if the other components can handle the additional device. Its a gamble as I have told you in over seven replies in this thread. Elector will I think i will go for it. least i understan the risks and can only hope for the best. Ive bitched a great deal about this machine but really its treated me will Ive pushed it to run xp. run a 60 gig hard drive. and it does this stuff way better than the webtv I had before it. ive went to peoples houses and used sytems they got way after mine and its been a pain to even update there windows 98. ive never downloaded a update and not had it go smoothly. anyways hopefully it improves it even more. if not oh will least i tried. when i get it and install the card ill let you know how it went Nathan |

On Wed, 15 Oct 2003 11:20:08 -0400, "G" had this to say and I had
to reply to it: :estinywlf: Please ignore and excuse the inappropriate behavior of elector. snip your proven lies again kook Never let it be said Elector cannot back up any claim I make. Read all the below and see the type of moronic idiot and troll this A. Grayson Walker is and send your complaints to robb at fdn.com and tell them to get rid of this proven liar and kook and proven phony. These few URLs will give you some back ground into what sort of person this A.Grayson Walker III fellow is like. Please note that the business he likes to say he is President of is a home business for tax dodging. and the official records can be found he http://tinyurl.com/hfcb or under the official web site http://www.sunbiz.org/scripts/cordet...ASSOCIATES&r5= and please download and view the financial records and reports. It is a sham company. Please note that all the principals are given the title of "Dr." kind of funny huh? These posts are to just get you thinking. http://tinyurl.com/hf5e http://tinyurl.com/hf5h http://tinyurl.com/hf5l http://tinyurl.com/hf5p http://tinyurl.com/hf5v http://tinyurl.com/hf5y http://tinyurl.com/hf62 http://tinyurl.com/hf65 http://tinyurl.com/hf6a http://tinyurl.com/hf6c http://tinyurl.com/hf6i http://tinyurl.com/hf6r http://tinyurl.com/hf6t http://tinyurl.com/hf6y http://tinyurl.com/hf74 http://tinyurl.com/hf76 Now these posts are more on the money and can give you greater insight to what type of person your dealing with. In a nut shell 100% kook, and proven liar, note the changing of the posting name to annoy and evade others. http://tinyurl.com/hf7n The First Post."A.Grayson Walker III" http://tinyurl.com/hf7r Note its posting as "G" http://tinyurl.com/hf7s Note that it now morps into a "PAL Androne" and steals my posting name of elector. http://tinyurl.com/hf7w Now its using three morph names which he changes my elector to elctra. Class act huh? http://tinyurl.com/hf80 And this link is really fun to read. Enjoy. He was using the Presidents domain in his address. http://tinyurl.com/hf88 Note it likes to dog others posts. Yep A. Grayson walker is a real class act. http://tinyurl.com/hf8e http://tinyurl.com/hf8l And he agains changes his posting name. http://tinyurl.com/hf8r Here Kook Walker is attacking or trying to attack METRONID's answers on the group. http://tinyurl.com/hf8x Here Kook Walker is giving wrong information and fighting with three regulars on the answer he gave. http://tinyurl.com/hf90 Now he changes his posting name again to "RTFM" but it is on topic. http://tinyurl.com/hf99 Now its back to the "G" posting name. Having fun yet? http://tinyurl.com/hf9g Two of the regulars waiting for the "G" poster to back up his wrong information. It never came. http://tinyurl.com/hf9j When he noticed he was not winning the flame war he created his own group. But look at the site. You won't be amused. Still laughing? Good read on. http://tinyurl.com/hfa6 And this one is really fun reading. Bad information from A. Grayson Walker and then he fights with six regulars over the bad advice he gave. Gee this is fun. http://tinyurl.com/hfad And this was an off topic post again from that nut job proven liar & kook A. Grayson Walker. http://tinyurl.com/hfaj Now this one is great reading. If you have any time to read today read this thread. Enjoy. http://tinyurl.com/hfao Another long and enjoyable post. But read it and laugh. http://tinyurl.com/hfaw Short and sweet. Shows to the background of this kook, A. Grayson Walker III http://tinyurl.com/hfaz And this one speaks for its self. Enjoy. http://tinyurl.com/hfb2 And this one is the best yet. An off topic post to incite the many posters from the United Kingdom that use the group for help with their computers. Packard Bell is not in the USA any longer but in the UK. A. Grayson Walker III is a real class act, huh? He is a bigot as well as a phony. Ask for the Ph.D proof he claims he has from a Georgia University at Athens. He doesn't have it. Check for yourself. And for a real laugh look at FDN's acceptable use policy and see that they see he breaks many of the provisions but they allow the kook to continue. Again send your complaints of this kook to robb at fdn.com http://www.fdncommunications.com/img...eusepolicy.pdf The above speaks all the truth you need to read. Its a PROVEN LIAR, KOOK, AND PHONY. PROVEN is the key word here and the troll cannot escape it. Ask the questions of this troll and see for yiour self. Elector |
